Using 5th instead of 6th for cruising is pretty huge, you turn higher revs but are in the powerband AND vacuum more, which means you can engine-brake, feather the throttle, and have useable power without pushing a lot of boost (fuel). I'm hoping 6th will be useful with the FP tune, but as of now...
I am, they're very bright, and are really good fogs. I could space them away from the center a bit more, but its not like they aren't bright enough as-is. Here is what they look like with spaces and Lamin-X covers:
My 7MT Badlands is at 11,000 miles, I just started to use Motorcraft full syn oil, and have used 93 octane for almost a year. After about 2000 recent miles of very mixed driving (1500 mile roadtrip, and a few weeks of commuting since) I've been holding steady at 20.7mpg, give or take a few...
I don't actually hate using the stop-start with the clutch, its intuitive because its connected to the clutch pedal. I don't like that it starts working 2 minutes after I started the engine when its cold. Is there a way to program the stop-start to only work after a certain water or oil temp...
According to FSWerks it is, for what that's worth: https://www.fswerks.com/products/fl-400s-motorcraft-oil-filter-ford-focus-escape-transit-connect-fiesta-explorer-fusion-c-max-mustang
I wanted to bump this because I just did the second proper oil change this afternoon. I upgraded to the bigger FL-400S filter with full syn Motorcraft, which I got in a 12pk on Amazon for like $96.
Its not a bad job, even though it seems drain for a good 10min hot. The oil filter channel is...
Yeah, I've definitely looked at that, but it leaves the compressor exposed and I'd rather have it enclosed/stealth/more protected. Its tempting, but $650 for the plate, compressor, and wiring makes me want to wait for a sale.
I had a hard time with this one, if I got the plate and...
That is awesome, particularly because it is so enclosed. I've gotta wonder if there is a way to put the air chuck and switch outside, maybe coming out behind the spare, so you don't have to open the tailgate? Hmmm
I wish Ford would've gone with Warthog, not only would it have been different, it would have let them run with a theme instead of towing the company synergy line. I really like the color, though I'd prefer to see it on a normal Bronco, but the color combo is almost European in its brashness. I...
I wonder if it is the camera firmware, I know it "should" be accessible via CAN-Bus some way or another, but what if it's not? Maybe the camera receives passive information about speed and kicks itself off. If that's the case is should be possible to access the cameras.
I've also wondered this...
I've read about the diagnostic-only as well, that sucks, I would've gone with that OBDII gauge but it doesn't seem like it'd work. I really want a gauge, not a digital readout or whatever, so this is more of a "can it be done" than "I'll settle for anything." This vehicle is young, there has to...
